THE HISTORY OF THE COMPANY’S NAME REFLECTS ITS COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE IN EVERY SPHERE

Back in the day there used to be on sale only such gasoline brands as A-76, A-92, A-95 and diesel fuel, while the media talked about the development of high-octane gasoline AI-98 only once in a while. Our company was already dreaming about the invention and introduction of the environmentally friendly gasoline of better quality that was tentatively called AI-100. It is where the name of the group of companies A-100 comes from. It symbolizes our commitment to new approaches, achievement of challenging results and achieving perfection and excellence in everything!
